Can't get themes from Marketplace to my site
Permalink
Hi!
Last night I got a couple of add-ons and themes to my site with minimal problems. It was confusing a bit: I'd click to add licenses and then it said they were saved for later when that's not what I was thinking it would do. So I had to go manually try activating them and it worked, though tediously.
Today I selected a few more templates to test and I just cannot for the life of me get them from the Marketplace to my site. Remembering last night that clicking Assign License put them in a save for later list, this time I just clicked the bottom link, Save. But again, it threw them all into a save for later list. Not what I wanted--and obvious for Save, but not for Assign License. And the "saved for later" list has no option to get selections over to my website.
On my project page, my successfully installed add-ons and themes are at the top of the same list of uninstalled themes I added today. They are all listed together and give only the options Get Support, Write Review or Release From Project. So I go back over to my site to see my newly selected themes but they aren't listed.
I'm running in circles here. Please tell me what to click to get the themes to my site so I can test them! :D
I think what I did last night was go back through each selection and added them to cart and added them one at a time and then associated them to the project. I tried that again today, too, and it's saying each theme is already associated. Rats.

I clicked "Get more themes" from Themes in my Dashboard. I searched by individual name for a single theme I selected earlier. It came up, and I opted to download and install.
NOW, in the resulting page, I have a list of all the items I unwittingly put in the Save for Later list. It's called Awaiting Installation and I can now go through and add them to my site.
This is obviously not how it's supposed to work. When you're at the Marketplace, the idea is to PUSH things to your website. Instead, all you can do is put them on hold, go over to your website and them PULL them to you. But it's not intuitive, because first you have to take a secret passageway to get to them to pull them to you.
I vaguely remember doing this last night, as well. But I did so many things trying to get them over to my site, I can't remember. FYI!
